PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment of a repeating apparatus using a telephone line in accordance with the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the repeating apparatus of the present invention is positioned within a base station, in particular, in a communication chamber within a building, which includes a mother station 100 for transceiving a RF (Radio Frequency) signal, a multiplicity of interior small repeaters 200 for transferring an intermediate frequency signal from the mother station 100 to a mobile phone located within the building and transferring the intermediate frequency signal from the mobile phone to the mother station 100, a plurality of exterior small repeaters 500 for transferring the intermediate frequency signal from the mother station 100 to a mobile phone out of the building and transferring the intermediate frequency signal from the mobile phone out of the building to the mother station 100, a signal connection board 300 positioned at the communication chamber within the building and coupled between the mother station 100 and the plurality of the interior small repeaters 200 and the exterior small repeaters 500 for connecting signals, PCM (Pulse Coded Modulation) converters 611 to 61n) for converting a PCM signal from the signal connection board 300 to the intermediate frequency signal to transfer to the mother station 100 and converting the intermediate frequency signal from the mother station 100 to the PCM signal to transfer to the signal connection board 300, and PCM converters 621 to 62n for converting one of the intermediate frequency signal and an audio signal from the exterior small repeater 500 to the PCM signal to transfer to the signal connection board 300 and converting the PCM signal from the signal connection board 300 to the RF signal to transfer to the exterior small repeater 500. Herein, the multiplicity of the interior small repeaters 200 and the signal connection board 300 are connected through a twisted wire 400 and the plurality of the exterior small repeaters 500 and the PCM converters 621 to 62n are connected, respectively, through a dedicated line 700.

Herein, since the dedicated line 700 used for connection to the exterior small repeaters 500 can transceive a digitalized signal like the PCM signal, the signal transferred through the dedicated line is made to the PCM signal at the PCM converters 611 to 61n.

And, the mother station 100 of the repeating apparatus, includes a mother station controller 110 for transferring a signal received from the outside, transferring signals from the interior small repeaters 200 and exterior small repeaters 500 to the outside and for checking operation state of the interior small repeaters 200, a duplexer 120 for transferring the intermediate frequency signal in high frequency bandwidth, e.g., in 4.95 MHz received through signal distributor blocks 140 and 160, a frequency converter 130 for converting the intermediate frequency signal in high frequency bandwidth from the mobile station controller 110 to the intermediate frequency signal in low frequency bandwidth, e.g., in 1.95 MHz, to transfer to the duplexer 120, a signal distributor block 140 for distributing the signal from the duplexer 120 to the signal connection board 300 and distributing the signal from the signal connection board 300 to the duplexer 120 and an interface 150, a signal distributor block 160 for distributing the signal from the duplexer 120 to a corresponding one of the PCM converters 611 to 61n and distributing the signals from the PCM converters 611 to 61n to the duplexer 120 and the interface 150, the interface 150 for transferring operation state monitoring signals, for the interior and exterior small repeaters 200 and 500, distributed by the signal distributor blocks 140 and 160, to the mobile station controller 110.

Herein, the intermediate frequency signal among the signals distributed by the signal distributor blocks 140 and 160 is transferred to the mobile station controller 110 via the duplexer 120. The audio signal, i.e., the operation state monitoring signals for the small repeaters, are transferred to the mobile station controller 110 via the duplexer 120.

The mobile station 100 transmits a transmission signal generated at the base station by using low bandwidth of the telephone line 400 and transmits the signals generated at the interior and exterior repeaters 200 and 500 by using high bandwidth of the telephone line 400.

The signal distributor block 140 used for signal connection to the interior small repeaters 200 includes a plurality of signal distributors 141 to 14n, each connected to the corresponding one of the interior small repeaters 200.

On the other hand, since the interior small repeaters 200 are able to transceive the signal only within a particular area of the building, the number of the interior small repeaters 200 depends on size of the building. That is, the larger the building is, the more the interior small repeaters 200 are required. On the contrary, the smaller the building is, the less the interior small repeaters 200 are required.

And, since the PCM is used for connection to the dedicated line, signal connection can be performed between the exterior small repeaters 500 and the mother station 100 even if their distance is longer than 300 m.

Hereinafter, it will be described in detail for operation of the repeating apparatus of the present invention using the telephone line and the dedicated line network as described above.

At first, it will be discussed the procedure of signal transmission from the mobile station to the small repeaters.

When a data signal is transferred from the mobile switching center connected to the mother station through a transmission line, the mother station controller 110, depending on a synchronization signal generated by a synchronization signal generating unit in the base station, composites the data signal with a CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) technique and generates the intermediate frequency signal. The intermediate frequency signal of 4.95 MHz is converted to the intermediate frequency signal of 1.95 MHz at the frequency converter 130 to be transferred to the duplexer 120.

And then, the converted intermediate frequency signal is transferred to the signal distributor blocks 140 and 160 via the duplexer 120 to be distributed by the signal distributor blocks 140 and 160.

The intermediate frequency signal distributed by the signal distributor block 140 used for interior is transferred to the corresponding one of the interior small repeaters 200 through the signal connection board 300 and the telephone line 400.

On the other hand, the intermediate frequency signal distributed by the signal distributor block 160 used for exterior is converted to the PCM signal by the corresponding one of the PCM converters 611 to 61n and then transferred to the corresponding one of the PCM converters 621 to 62n through the signal connection board 300 and the telephone line 400.

Through the procedure described above, the data signal is transferred to the mobile phone near the interior and exterior small repeaters 200 and 500.

Next, it will be discussed the procedure for transferring the signal from the small repeater to the mother station.

When the high frequency signal is transferred from the mobile phone near the interior and exterior small repeaters 200 and 500 to the interior and exterior small repeaters 200 and 500, the interior small repeaters 200 convert the high frequency signal to the intermediate frequency signal to transfer to the signal distributor block 140 through the telephone line 400 and the signal connection board 300.

On the other hand, the exterior small repeaters 500 convert the high frequency signal to the intermediate frequency signal to transfer to the corresponding one of the PCM converters 611 to 61n through the telephone line 400 and the signal connection board 300. The corresponding one of the PCM converters 611 to 61n converts the intermediate frequency signal to the PCM signal to transfer to the corresponding one of the PCM converters 621 to 62n through the dedicated line 700 and the signal connection board 300. And then, the corresponding one of the PCM converters 621 to 62n converts the PCM signal to the intermediate frequency signal to transfer to the signal distributor block 160.

As described above, the intermediate frequency signals transferred to the signal distributor blocks 140 and 160 of the mother station 100 are transferred to the mother station controller 110 via the duplexer 120.

And then, depending on the synchronization signal from the synchronization signal generating unit 800, the mother station controller 110 converts the intermediate frequency signal from the duplexer 120 to the baseband signal, demodulates the baseband signal by using the CDMA technique of a corresponding channel and transfers the demodulated signal to the mobile switching center.

On the other hand, the interior and exterior small repeaters 200 and 500 monitor the operation states themselves and the operation state monitoring signals are also transferred to the mother station 100 by using the above procedure.

Since the operation state monitoring signal outputted from the interior and the exterior small repeaters 200 and 500 are the audio frequency signals, they are transferred after distributed at the signal distributor blocks 140 and 160 to the mother station controller 110 via the interface 150 without passing the duplexer 120.

Therefore, the mother station controller 110 can determines whether the interior and the exterior small repeaters 200 and 500 are operate normally by using the operation state monitoring signals transferred as described above.

FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of an embodiment of the small repeater in accordance with the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, the small repeater of the present invention includes a first gain controlling unit 210 for detecting gain loss of the intermediate frequency signal transferred from the mother station 100 and providing a gain control signal for compensate the gain loss, a up-converting unit 220 for up-converting the intermediate frequency signal from the mother station 100 to the high frequency signal and compensating the gain of the high frequency signal depending on the gain control signal from the first gain controlling unit 210, a second gain controlling unit 230 for estimating, depending on the gain control signal from the first gain controlling unit 220, the gain loss induced to a signal during transmission from outside to the mother station 100 through the telephone line 400 and provide a gain control signal to compensate gain of a received signal, a down-converting unit 240 for down-converting the high frequency signal from the outside to the intermediate frequency signal and compensate the gain of the intermediate frequency signal depending on the gain control signal from the second gain controlling unit 230 to transfer to the mother station 100, a high frequency signal duplexer 250 for transferring the high frequency signal from the up-converting unit 220 to the mobile phone within the building via an antenna and transferring the high frequency signal transferred from the mobile phone within the building via the antenna to the down-converting unit 240, an intermediate frequency duplexer 260 for transferring the intermediate frequency signal from the mother station 100 to the down-converting unit 240 and transferring the intermediate frequency signal from the down-converting unit 240 to the mother station 100, an operation state monitoring unit 270 for monitoring the operation state of the first gain controlling unit 210, the up-converting unit 220, the second gain controlling unit 230 and the down-converting unit 240, and a filter 280 for filtering a detection signal of frequency bandwidth of the audio signal from the operation state monitoring unit 260 to transfer to the mother station 100.

The first gain controlling unit 210 includes a gain detector 211 for detecting the gain loss of the intermediate frequency signal from the mother station 100, and a gain controller 212 receiving the gain loss for providing the up-converter 220 and the second gain controller 230 with the gain control signal to compensate the gain loss.

The up-converting unit 220 includes a up-converter 221 for up-converting the intermediate frequency signal from the mother station 100 to the high frequency signal, a filter 222 for filtering the high frequency signal from the up-converter 221, a gain compensator 223 for compensating, depending on the gain control signal from the gain controller 212, the gain of the high frequency signal from the filter 222, and an amplifier 224 for amplifying the high frequency signal from the gain compensator 223 to transfer to the high frequency signal duplexer 250.

The down-converting unit 240 includes a down-converter 241 for down-converting the high frequency signal from the high frequency signal duplexer 250 to the intermediate frequency signal, a filter 242 for filtering the intermediate frequency signal from the down-converter 241, a gain compensator 243 for compensating, depending on the gain control signal from the gain controller 212, the gain of the intermediate frequency signal from the filter 242, and an amplifier 244 for amplifying the intermediate frequency signal from the gain compensator 243 to transfer to the intermediate frequency signal duplexer 260

Hereinafter, it will be described in detail for the operation of the small repeater in accordance with the present invention.

At first, it will be discussed the procedure of transmitting the signal transferred from the mobile station via the antenna.

When the intermediate frequency signal is transferred from the mother station 100 to the interior and the exterior small repeaters 200 and 500 through the telephone line 400, the intermediate frequency signal duplexer 260 transfers the intermediate frequency signal from the mother station 100 to the first gain controlling unit 210 and the up-converting unit 220. The gain detector 211 of the first gain controlling unit 210 detects the gain loss induced to the intermediate frequency signal transferred via the intermediate frequency signal duplexer 260 during transmission through the telephone line and transfers the detected gain loss to the gain controller 212. The gain controller 212 receives from the gain controller 212 the gain loss induced to the intermediate frequency during transmission through the telephone line and transfers the gain control signal to compensate the gain loss of the intermediate frequency signal to the gain compensator 223 of the up-converting unit 220 and the second gain controlling unit 230. And the up-converter 221 of the up-converting unit 220 up-converts the intermediate frequency signal from the intermediate frequency signal duplexer 260 to the high frequency signal by matching to an ultrashort modulation frequency from an ultrashort modulation frequency generator (not shown) and transfers the up-converted high frequency signal to the filter 222. The up-converter 221 also transfers the intermediate frequency signal and the ultrashort modulation frequency to the filter 222.

The filter 222 of the up-converting unit 220 filters the signals from the up-converter 221 to eliminate the intermediate frequency signal and the ultra modulation frequency and extract the high frequency signal of the frequency bandwidth transferred through the telephone line to transfer to the gain compensator 223. Subsequently, the gain compensator 223 compensates, depending on the gain control signal from the gain controller 212, the high frequency signal from the filter 222 to transfer to the amplifier 224. The amplifier 224 amplifies the high frequency signal from the gain compensator 223 enough to transfer to the mobile phone and transfers the amplified signal to the high frequency signal duplexer 250. The high frequency signal transferred to the high frequency duplexer 250 is transferred to the mobile phone via the antenna.

Next, it will be discussed the procedure of transmitting the signal received via the antenna.

When the high frequency signal is transferred from the mobile phone to the high frequency signal duplexer 250 via the antenna, the down-converter 241 of the down-converting unit 240 down-converts the high frequency signal from the high frequency signal duplexer 250 to the intermediate frequency signal to transfer to the filter 242. The down-converter 241 down-converts the high frequency signal from the high frequency signal duplexer 250 to the. intermediate frequency signal by matching to the ultrashort modulation frequency from the ultrashort modulation frequency generator (not shown) transfers to transfer to the filter 242 along with the high frequency signal and the ultrashort modulation frequency.

And then, the filter 242 of the down-converting unit 240 filters the signal from the down-converter 241 to eliminate the high frequency signal and the ultra modulation frequency and extract the intermediate frequency signal to transfer to the gain compensator 243.

As described above, the gain compensator 243 compensates, depending on the gain control signal from the second gain controlling unit 230, the intermediate frequency signal from the filter 242 to transfer to the amplifier 224. The second gain controlling unit 230 estimates the gain loss induced to the intermediate frequency signal from the down-converter 240 to the mother station 100 by using the gain control signal from the gain controller 212 and generates the gain control signal to compensate the gain of the intermediate frequency signal from the filter 242 by the estimated gain loss to provide to the gain compensator 243.

Subsequently, the amplifier 244 of the down-converter 240 amplifies the intermediate frequency signal from the gain compensator 243 enough to transfer to the mother station 100 and transfers the amplified signal to the intermediate frequency signal duplexer 260. The intermediate frequency signal transferred from the amplifier 244 is transferred to the mother station 100 via the intermediate frequency duplexer 260.

On the other hand, the operation state monitoring unit 270 checks whether the first gain controlling unit 210, the up-converting unit 220, the second gain controlling unit 230 and the down-converting unit 240 operate normally and transfers the operation state monitor signal to the filter 280 by using the audio frequency bandwidth. Subsequently, the filter 280 filters the operation state monitor signal of the audio frequency bandwidth from the operation state monitoring unit 270 and transfers the extracted direct current signal proper to the mother station 100 or the audio frequency signal through the telephone line 400 to the mother station 100.

And the present invention as described above performs the procedure as described above in transceiving to/from the mobile phone located at the outside.

As described above, the present invention repeats transmission to/from the mobile phone by using the small repeaters connected to the mother station positioned within the building through the telephone line and by using the small repeaters at the shadow area out of the building in which the mother station is located.

The present invention can provides the mobile phone at the shadow area such as the building or the underpass with a call service of high quality without disturbance.

The present invention can prevent call drop by transmitting high power signal into the local shadow area such as the building or the underpass by using the small repeaters connected to the telephone line installed within inside of the building.

Comparing the conventional optical cable or the RF coaxial cable, the present invention can be easily installed and reduces cost by connecting the small repeater for the call service to the pre-installed telephone line.

Because the present invention utilizes the pre-installed telephone line as a CDMA repeating line, installation cost for the optical cable and the RF coaxial cable can be reduced significantly.

In the present invention, the low frequency bandwidth of the telephone line at which transmission loss is relatively low is assigned to the base station transmitting signal that can be outputted at all time. The high frequency bandwidth is assigned to the base station receiving signal since it is able to demodulate a weak signal in the CDMA technique and the distance between the mobile phone and the repeating apparatus is short so that a strong signal can be transmitted. Therefore, the present invention can utilizes the telephone line as a CDMA repeating line.
